I'm definitely going to do my own due dilliigence just trying to get some ideas of what projects to start looking into
Yes that's right! make your own dilligence and as I can see your doing the right thing for asking something about on which ico you like to go in and of those I know was icocountdown.com 
may we suggest that you do make your own diligence and when you see and do the right thing to ask something on the ICO you like then went into it. so created an idea to make project a will but it should really work hard to run smoothly and successfully for the upcoming ICO success
